CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) denied a lien claimant's petition for disqualification of the judge, finding no evidence of bias or prejudgment. The WCAB dismissed the lien claimant's petition for reconsideration because the challenged order was interlocutory and not a final decision. However, the WCAB granted the lien claimant's petition for removal, rescinded the judge's order, and returned the matter to the trial level. This allows the judge to hear new arguments regarding the admissibility of the lien claimant's evidence in the first instance.
